Live updates: Portland Trail Blazers at Miami Heat

The Portland Trail Blazers will face a true Eastern Conference title contender in Miami on Wednesday night after winning in Orlando and Washington.

Heat entered this game as heavy favorites after defeating the Blazers in Portland on Jan. 5.

The Trail Blazers have been playing well lately, but coach Chauncey Billups said it’s tough to gauge where his team really stands after all the uncertainty this season. The game against Miami will be interesting.

“The first half of the season has been very unusual,” Billups said. There are a lot of factors to consider, such as injuries, COVID, and so on. However, you cannot control them. “What we can control is trying to develop, coaching our guys on what we believe, how we want to play, and with that said, I’ve been happy with our team and how they’ve played.”

Updates will be available later.
